As those redeemed in Christ, we are to be renewed in the spirit of our minds, to put off our old self and its futility, and to put on the new self, created in Christ-likeness and righteousness.

Ephesians 4:20-24 “But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self,[f] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

As Paul begins to urge the Church to walk in purity, he teaches them not to walk in the futility of their former mind, which was darkened, ignorant, callous, depraved, and cannot lead to the life of holiness those in Christ are called to.

 Ephesians 4:17-19 “Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.”

Speaking the truth in love, the whole body of the Church builds itself up, as each member co-labors, exercising the gifts they've been given by the Spirit.

Ephesians 4:15-16 “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

The Saints unified in faith, and matured as they conform to Christ, and sanctified from sin, equipped to stand firm in truth against deception and false teaching.

Ephesians 4:7-10 “until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.”
